machine-independent access to bus memory and register areas. All of the functions and types described in this document can be used by including the .Aq Pa machine/bus.h header file. .Pp Many common devices are used on multiple architectures, but are accessed differently on each because of architectural constraints. For instance, a device which is mapped in one system's I/O space may be mapped in memory space on a second system. On a third system, architectural limitations might change the way registers need to be accessed (e.g. creating a non-linear register space). In some cases, a single driver may need to access the same type of device in multiple ways in a single system or architecture. The goal of the .Nm functions is to allow a single driver source file to manipulate a set of devices on different system architectures, and to allow a single driver object file to manipulate a set of devices on multiple bus types on a single architecture. .Pp Not all busses have to implement all functions described in this document, though that is encouraged if the operations are logically supported by the bus. Unimplemented functions should cause compile-time errors if possible. .Pp All of the interface definitions described in this document are shown as function prototypes and discussed as if they were required to be functions. Implementations are encouraged to implement prototyped (type-checked) versions of these interfaces, but may implement them as macros if appropriate. Machine-dependent types, variables, and functions should be marked clearly in .Aq Pa machine/bus.h to avoid confusion with the machine-independent types and functions, and, if possible, should be given names which make the machine-dependence clear. .Sh CONCEPTS AND GUIDELINES Bus spaces are described by bus space tags, which can be created only by machine-dependent code. A given machine may have several different types of bus space (e.g. memory space and I/O space), and thus may provide multiple different bus space tags. Individual busses or devices on a machine may use more than one bus space tag. For instance, ISA devices are given an ISA memory space tag and an ISA I/O space tag. Architectures may have several different tags which represent the same type of space, for instance because of multiple different host bus interface chipsets. .Pp A range in bus space is described by a bus address and a bus size. The bus address describes the start of the range in bus space. The bus size describes the size of the range in bytes. Busses which are not byte addressable may require use of bus space ranges with appropriately aligned addresses and properly rounded sizes. .Pp Access to regions of bus space is facilitated by use of bus space handles, which are usually created by mapping a specific range of a bus space. Handles may also be created by allocating and mapping a range of bus space, the actual location of which is picked by the implementation within bounds specified by the caller of the allocation function. .Pp All of the bus space access functions require one bus space tag argument, at least one handle argument, and at least one offset argument (a bus size). The bus space tag specifies the space, each handle specifies a region in the space, and each offset specifies the offset into the region of the actual location(s) to be accessed. Offsets are given in bytes, though busses may impose alignment constraints. The offset used to access data relative to a given handle must be such that all of the data being accessed is in the mapped region that the handle describes. Trying to access data outside that region is an error. .Pp Because some architectures' memory systems use buffering to improve memory and device access performance, there is a mechanism which can be used to create .Dq barriers in the bus space read and write stream. There are three types of barriers: read, write, and read/write. All reads started to the region before a read barrier must complete before any reads after the read barrier are started. The analogous requirement is true for write barriers. Read/write barriers force all reads and writes started before the barrier to complete before any reads or writes after the barrier are started. Correctly-written drivers will include all appropriate barriers, and assume only the read/write ordering imposed by the barrier operations. .Pp People trying to write portable drivers with the .Nm functions should try to make minimal assumptions about what the system allows. In particular, they should expect that the system requires bus space addresses being accessed to be naturally aligned (i.e. base address of handle added to offset is a multiple of the access size), and that the system does alignment checking on pointers (i.e. pointer to objects being read and written must point to properly-aligned data). .Pp The descriptions of the .Nm functions given below all assume that they are called with proper arguments. If called with invalid arguments or arguments that are out of range (e.g. trying to access data outside of the region mapped when a given handle was created), undefined behaviour results. In that case, they may cause the system to halt, either intentionally (via panic) or unintentionally (by causing a fatal trap of by some other means) or may cause improper operation which is not immediately fatal. Functions which return void or which return data read from bus space (i.e. functions which don't obviously return an error code) do not fail. They could only fail if given invalid arguments, and in that case their behaviour is undefined. Functions which take a count of bytes have undefined results if the specified .Fa count is zero. .Sh TYPES Several types are defined in .Aq Pa machine/bus.h to facilitate use of the .Nm functions by drivers. .Pp .Bl -ohang -compact .It Fa bus_addr_t .Pp The .Fa bus_addr_t type is used to describe bus addresses. It must be an unsigned integral type capable of holding the largest bus address usable by the architecture. This type is primarily used when mapping and unmapping bus space. .Pp .It Fa bus_size_t .Pp The .Fa bus_size_t type is used to describe sizes of ranges in bus space. It must be an unsigned integral type capable of holding the size of the largest bus address range usable on the architecture. This type is used by virtually all of the .Nm functions, describing sizes when mapping regions and offsets into regions when performing space access operations. .Pp .It Fa bus_space_tag_t .Pp The .Fa bus_space_tag_t type is used to describe a particular bus space on a machine. Its contents are machine-dependent and should be considered opaque by machine-independent code. This type is used by all .Nm functions to name the space on which they're operating. .Pp .It Fa bus_space_handle_t .Pp The .Fa bus_space_handle_t type is used to describe a mapping of a range of bus space. Its contents are machine-dependent and should be considered opaque by machine-independent code. This type is used when performing bus space access operations. .El .Sh MAPPING AND UNMAPPING BUS SPACE Bus space must be mapped before it can be used, and should be unmapped when it is no longer needed. The .Fn bus_space_map and .Fn bus_space_unmap functions provide these capabilities. .Pp Some drivers need to be able to pass a subregion of already-mapped bus space to another driver or module within a driver. The .Fn bus_space_subregion function allows such subregions to be created. .Pp .Bl -ohang -compact .It Fn bus_space_map "space" "address" "size" "cacheable" "handlep" .Pp The .Fn bus_space_map function maps the region of bus space named by the .Fa space , .Fa address , and .Fa size arguments. If successful, it returns zero and fills in the bus space handle pointed to by .Fa handlep with the handle that can be used to access the mapped region. If unsuccessful, it will return non-zero and leave the bus space handle pointed to by .Fa handlep in an undefined state. .Pp The .Fa cacheable argument controls how the space is to be mapped. Supported flags include: .Bl -tag -width BUS_SPACE_MAP_CACHEABLE -offset indent .It Dv BUS_SPACE_MAP_CACHEABLE Try to map the space so that access can be cached by the system cache. If this flag is not specified, the implementation should map the space so that it will not be cached. This mapping method will only be useful in very rare occasions. .Pp This flag must have a value of 1 on all implementations for backward compatibility. .It Dv BUS_SPACE_MAP_PREFETCHABLE Try to map the space so that accesses can be prefetched by the system, and writes can be buffered. This means, accesses should be side effect free (idempotent). The .Fn bus_space_barrier methods will flush the write buffer or force actual read accesses. If this flag is not specified, the implementation should map the space so that it will not be prefetched or delayed. .It Dv BUS_SPACE_MAP_LINEAR Try to map the space so that its contents can be accessed linearly via normal memory access methods (e.g. pointer dereferencing and structure accesses). The .Fn bus_space_vaddr method can be used to obtain the kernel virtual address of the mapped range. This is useful when software wants to do direct access to a memory device, e.g. a frame buffer. If this flag is specified and linear mapping is not possible, the .Fn bus_space_map call should fail. If this flag is not specified, the system may map the space in whatever way is most convenient. Use of this mapping method is not encouraged for normal device access; where linear access is not essential, use of the .Fn bus_space_read/write methods is strongly recommended. .El .Pp .\"Not all combinations of flags make sense or are supported with all .\"spaces. .\"For instance, .Dv BUS_SPACE_MAP_CACHEABLE may be meaningless when used on many systems' I/O port spaces. and on some systems .Dv BUS_SPACE_MAP_LINEAR without .Dv BUS_SPACE_MAP_PREFETCHABLE may never work. When the system hardware or firmware provides hints as to how spaces should be mapped (e.g. the PCI memory mapping registers' "prefetchable" bit), those hints should be followed for maximum compatibility. On some systems, requesting a mapping that cannot be satisfied (e.g. requesting a non-prefetchable mapping when the system can only provide a prefetchable one) will cause the request to fail. .Pp Some implementations may keep track of use of bus space for some or all bus spaces and refuse to allow duplicate allocations. This is encouraged for bus spaces which have no notion of slot-specific space addressing, such as ISA and VME, and for spaces which coexist with those spaces (e.g. EISA and PCI memory and I/O spaces co-existing with ISA memory and I/O spaces). .Pp Mapped regions may contain areas for which no there is no device on the bus. If space in those areas is accessed, the results are bus-dependent. .Pp .It Fn bus_space_unmap "space" "handle" "size" .Pp The .Fn bus_space_unmap function unmaps a region of bus space mapped with .Fn bus_space_map . When unmapping a region, the .Fa size specified should be the same as the size given to .Fn bus_space_map when mapping that region. .Pp After .Fn bus_space_unmap is called on a handle, that handle is no longer valid. If copies were made of the handle they are no longer valid, either. .Pp This function will never fail. If it would fail (e.g. because of an argument error), that indicates a software bug which should cause a panic. In that case, .Fn bus_space_unmap will never return. .Pp .It Fn bus_space_subregion "space" "handle" "offset" "size" "nhandlep" .Pp The .Fn bus_space_subregion function is a convenience function which makes a new handle to some subregion of an already-mapped region of bus space. The subregion described by the new handle starts at byte offset .Fa offset into the region described by .Fa handle , with the size give by .Fa size , and must be wholly contained within the original region. .Pp If successful, .Fn bus_space_subregion returns zero and fills in the bus space handle pointed to by .Fa nhandlep . If unsuccessful, it returns non-zero and leaves the bus space handle pointed to by .Fa nhandlep in an undefined state. In either case, the handle described by .Fa handle remains valid and is unmodified. .Pp When done with a handle created by .Fn bus_space_subregion , the handle should be thrown away. Under no circumstances should .Fn bus_space_unmap be used on the handle. Doing so may confuse any resource management being done on the space, and will result in undefined behaviour. When .Fn bus_space_unmap or .Fn bus_space_free is called on a handle, all subregions of that handle become invalid. .Pp .It Fn bus_space_vaddr "tag" "handle" .Pp This method returns the kernel virtual address of a mapped bus space if and only if it was mapped with the .Dv BUS_SPACE_MAP_LINEAR flag. The range can be accessed by normal (volatile) pointer dereferences. If mapped with the .Dv BUS_SPACE_MAP_PREFETCHABLE flag, the .Fn bus_space_barrier method must be used to force a particular access order. .El .Sh ALLOCATING AND FREEING BUS SPACE Some devices require or allow bus space to be allocated by the operating system for device use. When the devices no longer need the space, the operating system should free it for use by other devices. The .Fn bus_space_alloc and .Fn bus_space_free functions provide these capabilities. .Pp .Bl -ohang -compact .It Xo .Fo bus_space_alloc .Fa "space" "reg_start" "reg_end" "size" .Fa "alignment" "boundary" "cacheable" "addrp" "handlep" .Fc .Xc .Pp The .Fn bus_space_alloc function allocates and maps a region of bus space with the size given by .Fa size , corresponding to the given constraints. If successful, it returns zero, fills in the bus address pointed to by .Fa addrp with the bus space address of the allocated region, and fills in the bus space handle pointed to by .Fa handlep with the handle that can be used to access that region. If unsuccessful, it returns non-zero and leaves the bus address pointed to by .Fa addrp and the bus space handle pointed to by .Fa handlep in an undefined state. .Pp Constraints on the allocation are given by the .Fa reg_start , .Fa reg_end , .Fa alignment , and .Fa boundary parameters. The allocated region will start at or after .Fa reg_start and end before or at .Fa reg_end . The .Fa alignment constraint must be a power of two, and the allocated region will start at an address that is an even multiple of that power of two. The .Fa boundary constraint, if non-zero, ensures that the region is allocated so that .Fa "first address in region" / .Fa boundary has the same value as .Fa "last address in region" / .Fa boundary . If the constraints cannot be met, .Fn bus_space_alloc will fail. It is an error to specify a set of constraints that can never be met .Po for example, .Fa size greater than .Fa boundary .Pc . .Pp The .Fa cacheable parameter is the same as the like-named parameter to .Fa bus_space_map , the same flag values should be used, and they have the same meanings. .Pp Handles created by .Fn bus_space_alloc should only be freed with .Fn bus_space_free . Trying to use .Fn bus_space_unmap on them causes undefined behaviour. The .Fn bus_space_subregion function can be used on handles created by .Fn bus_space_alloc . .Pp .It Fn bus_space_free "space" "handle" "size" .Pp The .Fn bus_space_free function unmaps and frees a region of bus space mapped and allocated with .Fn bus_space_alloc . When unmapping a region, the .Fa size specified should be the same as the size given to .Fn bus_space_alloc when allocating the region. .Pp After .Fn bus_space_free is called on a handle, that handle is no longer valid. If copies were made of the handle, they are no longer valid, either. .Pp This function will never fail. If it would fail (e.g. because of an argument error), that indicates a software bug which should cause a panic. In that case, .Fn bus_space_free will never return. .El .Sh READING AND WRITING SINGLE DATA ITEMS The simplest way to access bus space is to read or write a single data item. The .Fn bus_space_read_N and .Fn bus_space_write_N families of functions provide the ability to read and write 1, 2, 4, and 8 byte data items on busses which support those access sizes. .Pp .Bl -ohang -compact .It Fn bus_space_read_1 "space" "handle" "offset" .It Fn bus_space_read_2 "space" "handle" "offset" .It Fn bus_space_read_4 "space" "handle" "offset" .It Fn bus_space_read_8 "space" "handle" "offset" .Pp The .Fn bus_space_read_N family of functions reads a 1, 2, 4, or 8 byte data item from the offset specified by .Fa offset into the region specified by .Fa handle of the bus space specified by .Fa space . The location being read must lie within the bus space region specified by .Fa handle . .Pp For portability, the starting address of the region specified by .Fa handle plus the offset should be a multiple of the size of data item being read. On some systems, not obeying this requirement may cause incorrect data to be read, on others it may cause a system crash. .Pp Read operations done by the .Fn bus_space_read_N functions may be executed out of order with respect to other pending read and write operations unless order is enforced by use of the .Fn bus_space_barrier function. .Pp These functions will never fail. If they would fail (e.g. because of an argument error), that indicates a software bug which should cause a panic. In that case, they will never return. .Pp .It Fn bus_space_write_1 "space" "handle" "offset" "value" .It Fn bus_space_write_2 "space" "handle" "offset" "value" .It Fn bus_space_write_4 "space" "handle" "offset" "value" .It Fn bus_space_write_8 "space" "handle" "offset" "value" .Pp The .Fn bus_space_write_N family of functions writes a 1, 2, 4, or 8 byte data item to the offset specified by .Fa offset into the region specified by .Fa handle of the bus space specified by .Fa space . The location being written must lie within the bus space region specified by .Fa handle . .Pp For portability, the starting address of the region specified by .Fa handle plus the offset should be a multiple of the size of data item being written. On some systems, not obeying this requirement may cause incorrect data to be written, on others it may cause a system crash. .Pp Write operations done by the .Fn bus_space_write_N functions may be executed out of order with respect to other pending read and write operations unless order is enforced by use of the .Fn bus_space_barrier function. .Pp These functions will never fail. If they would fail (e.g. because of an argument error), that indicates a software bug which should cause a panic. In that case, they will never return. .El .Sh BARRIERS In order to allow high-performance buffering implementations to avoid bus activity on every operation, read and write ordering should be specified explicitly by drivers when necessary. The .Fn bus_space_barrier function provides that ability. .Pp .Bl -ohang -compact .It Fn bus_space_barrier "space" "handle" "offset" "length" "flags" .Pp The .Fn bus_space_barrier function enforces ordering of bus space read and write operations for the specified subregion (described by the .Fa offset and .Fa length parameters) of the region named by .Fa handle in the space named by .Fa space . .Pp The .Fa flags argument controls what types of operations are to be ordered. Supported flags are: .Bl -tag -width BUS_SPACE_BARRIER_WRITE -offset indent .It Dv BUS_SPACE_BARRIER_READ Synchronize read operations. .It Dv BUS_SPACE_BARRIER_WRITE Synchronize write operations. .El .Pp Those flags can be combined (or-ed together) to enforce ordering on both read and write operations. .Pp All of the specified type(s) of operation which are done to the region before the barrier operation are guaranteed to complete before any of the specified type(s) of operation done after the barrier. .Pp Example: Consider a hypothetical device with two single-byte ports, one write-only input port (at offset 0) and a read-only output port (at offset 1). Operation of the device is as follows: data bytes are written to the input port, and are placed by the device on a stack, the top of which is read by reading from the output port. The sequence to correctly write two data bytes to the device then read those two data bytes back would be: .Pp .Bd -literal /* * t and h are the tag and handle for the mapped device's * space. */ bus_space_write_1(t, h, 0, data0); bus_space_barrier(t, h, 0, 1, BUS_SPACE_BARRIER_WRITE); /* 1 */ bus_space_write_1(t, h, 0, data1); bus_space_barrier(t, h, 0, 2, BUS_SPACE_BARRIER_READ|BUS_SPACE_BARRIER_WRITE); /* 2 */ ndata1 = bus_space_read_1(t, h, 1); bus_space_barrier(t, h, 1, 1, BUS_SPACE_BARRIER_READ); /* 3 */ ndata0 = bus_space_read_1(t, h, 1); /* data0 == ndata0, data1 == ndata1 */ .Ed .Pp The first barrier makes sure that the first write finishes before the second write is issued, so that two writes to the input port are done in order and are not collapsed into a single write. This ensures that the data bytes are written to the device correctly and in order. .Pp The second barrier makes sure that the writes to the output port finish before any of the reads to the input port are issued, thereby making sure that all of the writes are finished before data is read. This ensures that the first byte read from the device really is the last one that was written. .Pp The third barrier makes sure that the first read finishes before the second read is issued, ensuring that data is read correctly and in order. .Pp The barriers in the example above are specified to cover the absolute minimum number of bus space locations. It is correct (and often easier) to make barrier operations cover the device's whole range of bus space, that is, to specify an offset of zero and the size of the whole region. .El .Sh REGION OPERATIONS Some devices use buffers which are mapped as regions in bus space. Often, drivers want to copy the contents of those buffers to or from memory, e.g. into mbufs which can be passed to higher levels of the system or from mbufs to be output to a network. In order to allow drivers to do this as efficiently as possible, the .Fn bus_space_read_region_N and .Fn bus_space_write_region_N families of functions are provided. .Pp Drivers occasionally need to copy one region of a bus space to another, or to set all locations in a region of bus space to contain a single value. The .Fn bus_space_copy_N family of functions and the .Fn bus_space_set_region_N family of functions allow drivers to perform these operations. .Pp .Bl -ohang -compact .It Fn bus_space_read_region_1 "space" "handle" "offset" "datap" "count" .It Fn bus_space_read_region_2 "space" "handle" "offset" "datap" "count" .It Fn bus_space_read_region_4 "space" "handle" "offset" "datap" "count" .It Fn bus_space_read_region_8 "space" "handle" "offset" "datap" "count" .Pp The .Fn bus_space_read_region_N family of functions reads .Fa count 1, 2, 4, or 8 byte data items from bus space starting at byte offset .Fa offset in the region specified by .Fa handle of the bus space specified by .Fa space and writes them into the array specified by .Fa datap . Each successive data item is read from an offset 1, 2, 4, or 8 bytes after the previous data item (depending on which function is used). All locations being read must lie within the bus space region specified by .Fa handle . .Pp For portability, the starting address of the region specified by .Fa handle plus the offset should be a multiple of the size of data items being read and the data array pointer should be properly aligned. On some systems, not obeying these requirements may cause incorrect data to be read, on others it may cause a system crash. .Pp Read operations done by the .Fn bus_space_read_region_N functions may be executed in any order. They may also be executed out of order with respect to other pending read and write operations unless order is enforced by use of the .Fn bus_space_barrier function. There is no way to insert barriers between reads of individual bus space locations executed by the .Fn bus_space_read_region_N functions. .Pp These functions will never fail. If they would fail (e.g. because of an argument error), that indicates a software bug which should cause a panic. In that case, they will never return. .Pp .It Fn bus_space_write_region_1 "space" "handle" "offset" "datap" "count" .It Fn bus_space_write_region_2 "space" "handle" "offset" "datap" "count" .It Fn bus_space_write_region_4 "space" "handle" "offset" "datap" "count" .It Fn bus_space_write_region_8 "space" "handle" "offset" "datap" "count" .Pp The .Fn bus_space_write_region_N family of functions reads .Fa count 1, 2, 4, or 8 byte data items from the array specified by .Fa datap and writes them to bus space starting at byte offset .Fa offset in the region specified by .Fa handle of the bus space specified by .Fa space .

Each successive data item read or written has an offset 1, 2, 4, or 8 bytes after the previous data item (depending on which function is used). All locations being read and written must lie within the bus space region specified by their respective handles. .Pp For portability, the starting addresses of the regions specified by each handle plus its respective offset should be a multiple of the size of data items being copied. On some systems, not obeying this requirement may cause incorrect data to be copied, on others it may cause a system crash. .Pp Read and write operations done by the .Fn bus_space_copy_N functions may be executed in any order.

In that case, they will never return. .El .Sh READING AND WRITING A SINGLE LOCATION MULTIPLE TIMES Some devices implement single locations in bus space which are to be read or written multiple times to communicate data, e.g. some ethernet devices' packet buffer FIFOs. In order to allow drivers to manipulate these types of devices as efficiently as possible, the .Fn bus_space_read_multi_N , .Fn bus_space_write_multi_N , and .Fn bus_space_set_multi_N families of functions are provided. .Pp .Bl -ohang -compact .It Fn bus_space_read_multi_1 "space" "handle" "offset" "datap" "count" .It Fn bus_space_read_multi_2 "space" "handle" "offset" "datap" "count" .It Fn bus_space_read_multi_4 "space" "handle" "offset" "datap" "count" .It Fn bus_space_read_multi_8 "space" "handle" "offset" "datap" "count" .Pp The .Fn bus_space_read_multi_N family of functions reads .Fa count 1, 2, 4, or 8 byte data items from bus space at byte offset .Fa offset in the region specified by .Fa handle of the bus space specified by .Fa space and writes them into the array specified by .Fa datap .

There are several changes and improvements which should be explored, including: .Bl -bullet .It Providing a mechanism by which incorrectly-written drivers will be automatically given barriers and properly-written drivers won't be forced to use more barriers than they need. This should probably be done via a .Li #define in the incorrectly-written drivers. Unfortunately, at this time, few drivers actually use barriers correctly (or at all). Because of that, .Nm implementations on architectures which do buffering must always do the barriers inside the .Nm calls, to be safe. That has a potentially significant performance impact. .It Exporting the .Nm functions to user-land so that applications (such as X servers) have easier, more portable access to device space. .It Redefining bus space tags and handles so that machine-independent bus interface drivers (for example PCI to VME bridges) could define and implement bus spaces without requiring machine-dependent code. If this is done, it should be done in such a way that machine-dependent optimizations should remain possible. .It Converting bus spaces (such as PCI configuration space) which currently use space-specific access methods to use the .Nm functions where that is appropriate. .It Redefining the way bus space is mapped and allocated, so that mapping and allocation are done with bus specific functions which return bus space tags. This would allow further optimization than is currently possible, and would also ease translation of the .Nm functions into user space (since mapping in user space would look like it just used a different bus-specific mapping function). .El .\".Sh COMPATIBILITY .\".Pp .\"The current version of the .\".Nm .\"interface specification differs slightly from the original .\"specification that came into wide use. .\"A few of the function names and arguments have changed .\"for consistency and increased functionality. .\"Drivers that were written to the .\"old, deprecated specification can be compiled by defining the .\".Dv __BUS_SPACE_COMPAT_OLDDEFS .\"preprocessor symbol before including .\".Pa Aq machine/bus.h . .Sh HISTORY The .Nm functions were introduced in a different form (memory and I/O spaces were accessed via different sets of functions) in .Nx 1.2 . The functions were merged to work on generic .Dq spaces early in the .Nx 1.3 development cycle, and many drivers were converted to use them.
